[BTW#2 - the way I've made this iso means that it would be easy I believe to make other isos for all variants of Slacko, Precise, Upup-Precise and Upup-Raring..... but I don't intend to do so unless there is "demand" as you can achieve the same result with lxpup-by-sfs]

I made the above assertion in a reply to 01micko and then managed to delete the post....senior moment

Anyway to test it I have made a version of LxPup based on Upup-Raring 3.9.9

I won't make the download link generally available but if you do fancy testing it, send me a PM and I'll send the link.

Running LXpup from USB stick on Dell E6430 laptop for test. Everything works out of the box. Impressed.
Only thing I missed was a way to test if the build in webcam works (GTcam ?) without installing Skype or another bulky app.
I'll try the compiz stuff tonight.

Any chance of basing future LXpups on Slacko 5.6.0 (newer kernel) ?
My new netbook GPU GMA3600 (somebody on this forum did a test) is supported in kernel 3.8 and newer.

I installed compiz on a fresh frugal install and it works fine, wobbly
windows etc. but when I install zarfy to setup for 2 monitors it
doesn't work well.
This is on a pc with intel graphics so I'll move to a pc with an nvidia
card and install the proprietary driver then test again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later:
I downloaded and installed the proprietary Nvidia driver,the setup
with nvidia-settings and saved the xconfiguration,rebooted and it's
working perfectly, wobbly windows etc. as long as I stay in the first
workspace but it doesn't work well in workspace 2 and up.

My aim is to make the minimum changes possible to the base iso - that's why I liked woofy when I stumbled across it.

I'm afraid I'm not able to see the point of removing JWM - it's presumably not too big and isn't interfering with LxPup and is there as a fallback if you ever want to leave lxde.....

As for splash screens - what are they lol - I haven't burnt a cd for a very long time as I always do frugal manual installs. I suppose it currently shows the Slacko splash screen does it?? Perhaps I'll just remove the image completely if I do another build... but again I want to keep such manual tweaks to a minimum. The less I have to remember to do, the less likely I am to forget to do it.

A version using the pae Slacko kernel would be very easy to produce but I get the colly-wobbles when I start to think about maintaining multiple versions. If you really want the pae kernel - just build it yourself by using Lxpup-by-SFS.....exactly the same end result apart from the fact that "the branding" is not changed - it is still Slacko + an sfs.

I did another install on my lenovo ThinkCentre and compiz was working
great until I tried to edit the top panel.
When I added a new program instead of placing one icon in the menu it
kept repeating adding the icon (disaster).
I unloaded the compiz_python_lxpup-0.8.8.sfs and
lxpup13.10_compiz_setup.pet,then rebooted.
Now when I try to add a new top panel it says there is already a top
panel and to delete that one first, problem is there is no visible top
panel so no way to delete it.
I'm too lazy to start over so I just added some stuff to the bottom
panel
Apart from the compiz problem lxpup is working great on this pc.

EDIT:
I have a pc with compiz that is working fine (the pc with an nvidia card) and I suspect the compiz problem on my ThinkCentre may have been caused by the wireless keyboard/mouse combo that I using on that pc.
